Symmetry and stability of orientationally ordered collective motions of self-propelled, semiflexible filaments

MG Athani, DA Beller - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
Ordered, collective motions commonly arise spontaneously in systems of many interacting,
active units, ranging from cellular tissues and bacterial colonies to self-propelled colloids …

Collective behavior of active filaments with homogeneous and heterogeneous stiffness

C Zhao, R Yan, N Zhao - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2024 - pubs.aip.org
The collective dynamics of active biopolymers is crucial for many processes in life, such as
cellular motility, intracellular transport, and division. Recent experiments revealed …

Active chiral rotors: hydrodynamics and chemotaxis

R Maity, S Thakur, PS Burada - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.16835, 2025 - arxiv.org
An active chiral rotor is a spherical object that can generate chiral flows in a fluid by rotating
about an axis. For example, if the flow around the upper hemisphere of the chiral rotor is in a …
